EVANS, Rt Hon Sir Anthony Adney (1922-2017)

[Richard R]

From the Telegraph of 5 September 2017: EVANS  Rt Hon Sir Anthony Evans Bt died peacefully 30th August 2017 aged 95 in Southwest France.

He was s of Sir Walter Harry EVANS 1st Bt (1872-1954) and Margaret Mary (d 1969) d of Thomas Adney DICKENS. He m 1st 1948 (div 1957) Rita Beatrice d of Alfred David KETTLE of Souldern, Oxon. He m 2nd 1967 Sylvia Jean Dorothy d of Bernard Edgar MACHIN, and had 2 sons and a dau, all born out of wedlock. Therefore, the title is EXTINCT.

He was called "Rt. Hon." in Burke's and in the announcement, and a "PC" in Burke's, but the only Sir Anthony Evans on a list of PCs is one born in 1934, who was a judge. Both allegedly became PCs in 1992. No accomplishments are listed for the Baronet which might explain him being a PC. Could it be a Burke's mistake? Or are both of them PCs?

[Richard R]

I think you're right, our late Baronet wasn't a PC. The official PCs website shows only one Sir Anthony Evans made a PC in 1992 and that's Rt Hon Sir Anthony Howell Meurig EVANS (b 1934): https://privycouncil.independent.gov.uk/privy-council/privy-council-members/privy-counsellors/#e

Sir Anthony Adney Evans' Who's Who entry doesn't mention a PC appointment.

Unfortunately, Google doesn't allow you to amend the original subject heading, so I've only been able to amend the subject heading for this particular post, taking out the 'Rt Hon'. It's unfortunate the death notice repeats the Rt Hon, but I suppose they simply went by what was in the peerage reference books.

The Official Roll of the Baronetage lists this baronetcy as "Vacant".

Somebody added such information to Wikipedia: Marcus Adney Evans, presumed 3rd Baronet (b. 1960)

Who is Marcus Adney Evans?

[Paul Theroff]

presumably Sir Anthony's son? Burke's says he had two sons, impliedly legitimate, but does not name them; but the original post here says that they were born before marriage, which I assume is correct.

It's a bit odd. One would have thought that the death notice would have been placed by someone close to the deceased and who would not need to consult a reference book to get the details correct (or wrong if the reference book is wrong). 

[Jelena JS]

Sir Anthony married secondly in 1958. Marcus Adney Evans was born  in February 1960.

it just keeps getting odder and odder:   Burke's, at least in the online edition, said that the three children were all by the first wife.

further confusion: Debrett's says the three children (Marcus, Annabel and an unnamed son) were from the second marriage, but dates the second marriage in 1967, making them all born before marriage.

Here's the entry from BMD for Sir Anthony's second marriage in 1967:

Anthony A Evans
Date of Registration:	Jan-Feb-Mar 1967
Registration district:	Oxford
Inferred County:	Oxfordshire
Spouse:	Sylvia J D Machin
Volume Number:	6b
Page Number:	2441

Still it doesn't explain why the Official Roll of the Baronetage lists this baronetcy as "Vacant". 

[John Mason]

The website of the Standing Council of the Baronetage explains that a baronetcy is listed as vacant if the baronet has died in or after 2011 and succession to the baronetcy has not been established.

[Henry W]

On the official roll https://www.baronetage.org/official-roll-of-the-baronets/ it has been listed as "V?"

Compare this with other baronetcies extinct this year such as Lyell, De La Bere, etc. which are explictly listed as "Extinct".

Presumably Commander Abbott is slightly hesitant due to the rather unusual circumstances of Sir Anthony's children, especially as the Reference Books are not in agreement.
